       @kaia No, but there's definitely been an upward trend in padding, hence ratio part.

       @kaia They're basically open-back SUVs at this pointFarmers that need function beyond being an open-back SUV are starting to move to importing used kei trucks from Japan, and rather than trying to meet market needs by making smaller, more efficient and economical trucks for them, the big American auto manufacturers are instead bribing state governments to ban them over "safety and emissions concerns"

       @Moon@shitposter.club @mrsaturday@shitposter.club @kaia@brotka.st 1: these are all the same overall length. that's a very misleading photo. 2: CARB standards are what you need to be blaming, not the manufacturers. they are beholden to US law that says a vehicle must get a certain gas mileage based on it's footprint. the law is broken.

       @Moon @mrsaturday @kaia I guess I'll buy a old pickup when I learn how to drive and the government will have to break my already messed up hands when everyone doesn't need to drive because self driving will be in every car.

       @purple @mrsaturday @Moon @kaia emissions allowances also increase by size but emissions and efficiency almost have a proportional relationship so I'm just repeating your point I guess 🥲

       @kaia as someone who had to ride with  3 or even 4 people in a 1970s pickup, longer cabs are a great thing, a real blessingalso, this is really not an accurate picture of Ford F150s: it cherry picks data to give a misleading impressionhttps://www.truckaddons.com/truck-measurements/

       @kaia the explanation is simple: their fat asses won't fit in there and they're unable to do physical work like *checks notes* load a truck with tools and materials. Also, Ford is garbage.

       @n3f_X @SunMcNukes @kaia It is just a sim though. A good sim if its the one I'm thinking of (Beamng.drive) but it doesnt simulate certain things well. For example, you can bend the fuck out of a solid axle without that much force, irl it would crack and it would take a fuckton of force to do it. Pretty sure I've not seen crumple zones simulated either.

       @leyonhjelm @kaia @purple @Moon @mrsaturday it's a California law, that alone explains the insanity. CARB board was created to solve California's air pollution smog problem (in L.A.) & car makers didn't wanna make custom cars for Cali so they hyped compliance as a sales feature. Same with useless (USDOT said so) DRLs, Canadian law req'd 'em, so US car models made in Ontario plants got 'em 1st as a "feature".Short bed trucks means you can charge more $ to get a long bed, extended cab, or both.

       @CattleBaron @mrsaturday @kaia Farmers don't really care much b/c they're driving on their own land & often use $7-10k side by side ATVs w/a cargo bed to get around. They're also street legal w/o a plate unless a town ordinance specifically bans them, most towns don't have 1. Tractors only need a slow moving vehicle (<40mph) triangle on the back.Farmers do prize old pickups for fast in town cargo trips b/c they're easy to repair, cost way less vs a new truck, & unlike new 1s last 20-40 years.
